Thirteen years after the Prophet’s mission and his preaching and guidance in Makkah, the polytheists decided to assassinate the Prophet (peace be upon him). As a result, he was forced to migrate from Makkah to Madinah.

Upon arriving in Madinah, the Prophet (peace be upon him) built a mosque that became known as Al-Masjid an-Nabawi (the Prophet’s Mosque).

Over the course of ten years, Al-Masjid an-Nabawi witnessed the tireless efforts of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and after him, the Commander of the Faithful (Imam Ali) and the infallible Imams (peace be upon them).

Presence and worship in this mosque are highly recommended, and the virtue of each unit (rak‘ah) of prayer in Al-Masjid an-Nabawi is equal to ten thousand units of prayer elsewhere.
